FLIR Announces $18.4 M for H-60 Black Hawk Operations
(Portland, OR., April 17, 2008) -- FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) announced today that it has received two contract awards for a total of $18.4 million for its Star SAFIRE(r) class stabilized, multi-sensor systems to be used on H-60 Black Hawk helicopters. One of the orders represents a follow-on contract in support of the United Arab Emirates GHQ, while the other order is in support of the U.S. Army Black Hawk operations. The Star SAFIRE(r) systems were chosen in part due to their environmentally rugged design, a characteristic they share with the H-60 Black Hawks.
Including these orders, FLIR will have delivered over 200 systems in the Star SAFIRE(r) product line for Black Hawk operations. These systems are used by the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Government agencies, as well as by several other nations around the world.
Work on the delivery orders will begin in July and is expected to be completed by year end. This work will be performed in FLIR's Portland, Oregon facility.
"These contracts demonstrate the value of our systems to support the wide-range of missions of the Black Hawk helicopter, one of the world's preeminent combat and support helicopters. We are pleased that FLIR has once again been chosen for installation on this widely used platform," said Earl R. Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR Systems, Inc.
